"To Build a Fire" is a short story written by American author Jack London. There are two versions of this story, one published in 1902 and the other in 1908.

The 1908 version deals with an unnamed protagonist who ventures out in the subzero boreal forest of the Yukon Territory, together with his dog, to visit his friends (ignoring warnings from an older man about the dangers of hiking alone in extreme cold).
